      Fun excruciating fact: the worse your social anxiety, the more desperate you might be to get rid of them and at the same time the less likely you are to go with the second option 😮‍💨

      That’s cool. I can’t think of menu low context cultures in any national scales, but definitely a few subcultures in the US.

      Korea on the other hand is the epitome of high context culture.

      Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone actually ask somebody to leave where I’m from. If it gets too late and our guests are still there, guess they’re staying the night. Luckily, most people leave before then.
      I’ve lived most of my life in tiny Vermont villages, for context.

    I saw a video yesterday that in Japan, your hosts will offer to serve green tea on rice. Apparently this is a hint for the guests to leave.

    I just announce that the orgy is about to start and in less than a minute I’m alone. 😤

    Why wouldn’t people just say, “It’s getting late, this was fun, but I need to sleep so it’s time for everyone else to leave, let’s hang out again next week”?

    Why can’t people be simple?

      Yeah, I normally say “I can’t clog the bathroom with people listening” and that normally works

      I just bounce

      Even during my own parties or while I have people over. Stay as long as you like, even stay the night if you so desire, but I’m going to my room and passing out at 10pm no matter what, so you do you from that point on. It’s likely I’ll also forget to tell you I’m going to bed

      I used to be more Midwestern, “Welp” or “Alright” kind of thing, but I’ve been becoming a bit more low context with time. Especially if I have my family with me. It’s a lot easier to terminate exchanges when you have a kid.

      “I’m gonna go now” seems like it’s going to be too direct but people adjust pretty quickly in my experience. Or maybe everyone I know thinks I’m an asshole lol

        I just speak plainly. It works wonders.

        There are some people who don’t like it, but that’s just because they’re even bigger assholes.

    As a guest I am never this type of problem, as I will usually have done an “Irish goodbye” hours before this point. If I haven’t, my only problem would be not exclaiming out loud “oh thank god” when the host whelps.
